APPARATUS FOR DYEING YARN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 311,568, dated February3, 1835.

Application tiled October l, 1884.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, CSAR CORRON, a citizen of the French Republic,residing at Saint- Etienne, in the Department of Loire, in saidRepublic, have invented a new and useful lmprovement in Apparatus forDyeingYarns, of which the following is a specific-ation, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, in whichv Figure l is a side elevationof an apparatus embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan of the same;Fig. 3, a transverse section of the same.

Similar letters of reference designate correr 5 sponding parts in allthe figures.

Q is a trough. containing the dye bath. Over this trough is arranged aframe, H, supporting the rollers J J, from which are suspended theskeins to be treated. This frame H is suspended by rods to the leversAAA, which serve to operate the frame for its movement of ascent anddescent. The number of these levers varies according to the length ofthe frame H, so that the said frame will not bend under the load of yarnto be dyed. In their mean position these levers are horizontal.

Upon the same shaft to which the levers A A A are keyed there are alsokeyed other levers, (l C. Each of these levers C is connected with thenext one by means of a rod in such a manner that they all move together.rlhese levers C serve, as may be seen, to produce the movements of theframe H, in which 5 the rollers J J are suspended.

E E are upright levers connected with the levers C C, and,with thehorizontal bar D, eX- tend the length of several troughs, and may serveto transmit motion to any number of frames H, arranged in line with eachother.

G is an upright slide for guiding the movements of the frame H, and F isa post which supports said guides.

At the extremities of each of the rollers J J is placed a pinion. Thepinions of the several rollers are geared together, so that a crankapplied to the axle of one of the said rollers may produce the rotationof all. of them.

In order to obviate the inconveniences heretofore experienced by theskeins becoming mixed together or entangling about the sus- (No model.)

pending-rollers, there is placed in each one of the skeins a movableextending-roller, O, which by i ts weight keeps the skeins stretched,and enables the dyeing to be performed both by submersion and rotation.

The dyeing by submersion presents considerable advantages for dyeing ingeneral, and for all operations in dyeing in black, especially in theapplication of catechu upon the 6o salts of tin, in which it is almostindispensable, if it be desired to operate under the best conditions,sheltered from contact with the air. The dyeing by submersion avoids,also, the prolonged rotation ofthe rollers,and by this means o 5furnishes agreat advantage in the treatment of the yarn. The saidextending-rollers O may be of any material, and of suitable weight tokeep the skeins properly extended and make them operate properly in thedye. These ex- 7o tending-rollers may, as illustrated at O in Fig. 3,rest upon two horizontal notched bars, placed one upon each side of theinterior of the trough Q, where they are supported on brackets securedto the sides of the trough. Vhen thus placed,said rollers occupy aposition in the middle of the skeins, keeping the latter open andpreventing them from being intermixed during the upward and downwardmovement of thcframe H. In the movements 8o of the skeins lengthwise thebars l? are removed from their places and the rollers are allowed todescend into the loop of the skeins, where, by their weight, they keepall the skeins parallel in their places, facilitating the 8 5 movementgiven to the skeins by the rotation ot` the roller J. By the aid of thissystem of extending-rollers the movement of the skeins lengthwise may beobtained in two ways, either by the hand of an attendant turninggo theskeins upon. the suspension-rollers J without turning the latterrollers, or by the rotation of these latter rollers by the crank N andthe gearing hereinbefore described, or by any suitable mechanicalmovement.

W'hen the operator or attendant desires to obtain the up -anddownmovement of the frame H, he has but to place upon the sides of thetrough the notched bars l? and place the extending-rollers thereon, inorder to allow 100 the skeins to operate freely in the bath. Theoperation of the extending-rollers retained on the bars P is then toremain in the middle of the skeins, their extremities free, andpreserv-v ing in the middle ofthe skein a proper direction to all thethreads.

In order to provide for the transfer of the skeins from one trough toanother, there are placed at the extremities of the troughs snpports M,carrying two rails, K. These rails are continued along neighboringtroughs, and the passage of the frame H loaded with skeins from onetrough to another is easily effected by the aid of Wheels L upon thesaid frame, adapted to run on the rails K.

Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

1. The combination of the frame H, the`suspension-rollers J J, mountedtherein, the dyetrough Q, and levers A A A C C C, for produeing anupward and downward movement of said frame and suspension-rollers,substantially as herein described.

2. The eo1nbination,with the dye-trough Q, the frame H, suspended overthe saine, the suspension-rollers J J, mounted in said frame, and theextendingrollers O O', and supports for the latter rollers Within thetrough,where by the said rollers maybe either supported by the troughwithin the skeins, or suspended in the skeins themselves, substantiallyas and for the purpose herein set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses.
